Hello all! Just thought to drop a few encouraging points regarding doppler use 😊
I've been using mine since 9w and never got anything. Then around 10w I found the HB after several mins of searching for 3 seconds. Nothing after that. Today Im 12w5d and I found it immediately 💓
Points:
1) I've heard it said to wait until around 11/12 weeks so baby is big enough. This was the case for me.
2) Waiting until after your first ultrasound - my doctor told me that baby is right in the middle of my womb so thats where I started looking today.
3) Place probe on a spot, then without lifting it, angle it in all directions. If nothing, then shift it a little and repeat. When I used to just shift the probe everywhere, all I'd get were swishing noises (blood thru my viens).
Hope this helps! H&H9 to everyone!
